I think one of the things I liked best is Anna's mindset. Having said all that, I actually loved the story and can't wait to read more. (Sorry, but 17 years with a herpetologist would make this a huge annoyance for you also.) I'd say I'm being nit-picky but Red is a huge part of the story so that makes it a rather glaring issue. If it was poisonous then just touching it would make people sick. It is venomous, not poisonous - it injects toxins, as opposed to secreting toxic substances. Honestly, the worst issue for me was the constant "poisonous snake" and "the snake's poison". Relatively small issues that were easily outweighed by intriguing story. The constant reminder that they needed to keep quiet about Red because of the danger of thieves, yet they were telling people the whole story, left and right. Constant repetition of Anna and Red's story. In the midst of space battles and well-placed assassins, Anna is convinced that Red’s presence may make the difference in survival or death, not just for her but her entire NIA team. When the Naval Intelligence Agency, the NIA, recruits her, her adventures grow beyond fending off thieves and killers to tracking down interstellar smugglers as part of an elite team, but the smuggling cartel are quick to fight back.

She even comes to wonder if her brilliance in school and eventually at deciphering code is somehow connected to her constant companion. As her krait becomes known and valuable throughout the three star empires as one of only a handful of such snakes, she fights off attempts to kill her and snatch Red. If she is ever separated from Red, she will die.Īnna struggles through foster homes.
The medical community is excited since there is no known cure for the virus, but Anna and her snake, Red, have a symbiotic relationship-containment, not cure. But she survives, thanks to a poisonous red-headed krait. Anna struggles through f Anna nearly dies, along with all her family, at age four from the deadly Cacao virus.

One of them, a Marino Marini bronze of a horse and rider was withdrawn, amid comments from observers that it had gotten caught up in Italian export red tape.Īmong the other works from this collection was a sizeable abstract painting, Pittura (Verde) (1960), by Japanese Informel artist Toshimitsu Imai, which carried the highest estimate yet for him at $217,000-360,000, but which sold for a disappointing $124,900 (£86,500).Anna nearly dies, along with all her family, at age four from the deadly Cacao virus. The majority of guarantees were third party, many from a family collection believed to be from Italy. Phillips’s painting carried the highest ever estimate yet for a Soulages at $3.6/5 million, but much to Joffre’s surprise, it didn’t sell. Soulages is now France’s most expensive living painter with an auction record of $6.2 million (£4.3 million). There were high hopes for Pierre Soulages’s five-foot high, blue and black abstract, Peinture (1962) which had belonged to the New York dealer Sam Kootz, and was bought in one of Joffre’s sales when he was at Sotheby’s in 1990 for about $340,000 (£192,500). Bearing the unmistakable stamp of Hugues Joffre’s recent hiring by Phillips, there was a strong selection of postwar European art.
